Anyone who's seen yesterday's DTM race, will have to admit that those kerbs might actually not be buggy at all (Paffet flying in the air when he tries to re-enter the track in lap 1)

Quote from Tweaker :

I'd much rather have slight race-spec versions of all the roadcars to use, that would be great fun. Like some amateur touring/cup car models with slight more power and grip.

Amen to that.

Really great coverage, camera's were great, commentary was almost flawless, and the race itself was a blast to watch! Best so far! Keep it up!

EDIT: Ignore this... I didn't know it's one hour after the stint finished

The one hour rule seems funny to me too... especially when taking into account a replay of the incident is needed in order to make a valid complaint. That means when a driver has an incident in the first hour of a 2 hour stint, you'll never be able to file a complaint.

Quote from bbman :

Why the bonnet scoop? To cool the fuel tank?

Hehe, cooling fuel isn't a bad suggestion... but brake cooling might be more obvious. But... hang on.. there's not even a hole in the hood...
Oh well... either way, ricers will love it

On-topic I have to say that the GTR drawing from the OP is very nice. I just wanted to point out that the idea is not new

Feel free to delete this without notice if it has already been suggested, but if we could get the gap in seconds (or laps) to the cars in front and behind... that would be awesome...

Many thanks for your efforts and dedication Tweak (and other admins)

Quote from r4ptor :

Didn't think it would be about the app either

Ah, i thought so because you were asking for an alternative app




On-topic: I can't see the server in the spectator app at this very moment?

Quote from PaulC2K :

nor was it available for the first qualifying session

Wowch, what's happening...?! A one-line post by Paul!

@r4ptor: that's nothing to do with the application. The server just needs InSim enabled.

Same question as DeadPrairyHoundSkeleton. If it's intentional, this isn't a universal solution... Nevertheless; thanks for the explanation, good to see a final answer for this race

Quote from N I K I :

i dont agree because its not so simple to do that as to say it

I bet a million you would be able to do it if there would be a concrete wall instead of that run-off strip.

Seriously, I don't understand what's wrong with Tweaker's explanation.
"Keep two wheels on at least the curb at all time, and the green patch is NOT a curb"; universal solution that can go for every track on the calendar and it's clear as glass. I don't see why you need moving images to make a decision.

I'd say let's take Tweaker's neatly designed image as the rule, since that way it's nice and clear for everyone. Can we have a final answer now please? To be honest I wouldnt want to tell my drivers to change their lines again, one day before the qualifying and two days before the race.

Quote from spankmeyer :

Disaster.

Literally.

Only thing missing were either huge asteroids colliding with the Earth or giant dinosaurs roaming the track and eating people. And zombies. Lots of them. And no guns anywhere in sight.

Qualified 7th (better than I expected). T1 went ok but in T2 someone tapped my rear nasty. Ahoy there I went into a wall and spinning back on the track in front of incoming shopping carts. Bumpage ensued and I was gifted with a bent suspension. Limping my way to the pits to get the damage fixed.

Setup was bullcrap.

Ate my R2 tyres for breakfast (bear in mind, I had zero practise on the combo due to work) and then went on to demand MOAR TYRES NEED MOAR TYRES HUNGRY!

Off to the pits on lap 16-or-something. I went gung-ho on fuel and tyres, loaded my boat with R3s and 90% fuel to last for the remaining 2/3 of the race.

Enter cruise control. With additional carnage of me spinning before oval part and taking out fellow Finn.

Enter depression.

Finished the race with the last shreds of R3 tyres left on the wheels.

:chairfall :smileyrai

Thats classic, made my day!

Isn't it possible for some pro coder out there (shame Frank is busy) to program a "penalty-cone" which, in case you hit it, adds a second to your laptime...? Quite similar to how AutoX works.
The cutting I see here is quite nasty, good to see the laptimes deleted...

Holy shit! What?! Ooooohhhhh commercials! ^^


On-topic: awesome design as always Mr.P! So many details.... just amazing!

Quote from Koopa :

Would be cool to have duck etc and his team in the GT2 class...

It will be very close racing then, in the GT2 classs...

Bit weird if we dont get team FUSION in the MoE...

They are already in, read three posts up

Great show! In my opinion the perfect way of displaying the LFS scene, great job, congratulations!

What number should we use on our skins? And will there be a template for the numberplate?

Quote from Priitmek :

Maybe because the website in your signature has a banner of GayFriendFinder.

Funny how I don't see that banner there... I guess the banner content is variable, based on the visitor's preferences...

Thanks for the invitation! Good luck everyone, and see you on the 29th!

Hahaha! Wow, looks like it's gonna be an interesting season! :clapclap:
